Antibiotic days = Aggregate number of days for which any amount of a specific antibiotic is administered to a patient and documented in the medical record (adapted from CDC definition). Hospital days = The total number of days a patient stays in hospital. Scenario A: Assumes that all patients were treated for 10 days with penicillin irrespective of maternal RPR results.
